You don't need a new language construct, what i do is:

    import AnnoyinglongLongModuleName as M

I think ghc would need to be extended a little to make this convienient as it doesn't handle recursive module imports as transparently.

I think if I wanted this syntax, I'd go for:

    module AnnoyinglyLongModuleName as M where ...
